"Ready!" The roaring crowd in the stadium suddenly falls silent. All you can hear is the flags flapping in the breeze and your heart pounding in your chest with anticipation. You take a moment to check out the opposition, human powerhouses poised for the starters gun.

You are the best. In your mind the race is run and you stand tall on the podium. Somewhere a gun goes off and your flying, flying to victory...
